What is Climate Change?
a global challenge that has no
borders and to combat it requires
coordinated work by all countries.

4.

GLOBAL WARMING
➢ caused by the greenhouse
effect
➢ daily human activities
maximize the greenhouse
effect, causing the planet’s
temperature to increase even
more
1971 - 2015

5.

Increase in Greenhouse
Gases
➢ Carbon dioxide
➢ Methane
➢ Nitrogen oxide
➢ HCFCs - gas of anthropogenic
origin (result of human
activities). Harmless to the
ozone layer, but increases the
greenhouse effect.

6.

Deforestation
Forests are natural carbon
sinks, absorbing CO2
through photosynthesis
and returning oxygen to
the atmosphere.

7.

Destruction of Marine
Ecosystems
The oceans are also carbon
sinks, absorbing up to 50 % of
CO2.
The problem is that, when
they reach their limit, the
ocean acidifies and causes
death and disease among
marine flora and fauna.

8.

Population needs more
and more resources,
which speeds up the
increase in greenhouse
gas emissions from all
production processes.

cattle and
sheep produce
large amounts
of methane
when
digesting their
food, while
fertilizers
produce
nitrous oxide
emissions.
Intensive Farming

➔ overexploitation
of natural
resources
➔ emissions from
international
freight transport,
which both
contributes to
global warming
Overconsumption
